Repository and Storage
CASE#01810263
What does difference repository and storage. When I create replicatation job, I select "storage" and "repository" at same job. I know repository is storage that data was saved. So Why I select repository while I select job's storage location. Thanks...

Re: Repository and Storage
Hello reha and welcome to the community!
Some people call datastores "storages", other use "storage" as repository.
In the replication job you choose target datastore for replica VM and repository to keep replica metadata.
Could you clarify what brings the confusion?
Thanks!

Re: Repository and Storage
Hi;
"metadata" is confuse me. When I look metadata location I see "veeam backup and replication full backup file" I confused that point. But I think you want to tell me repository is not exact backup, it is only essential backup files, am I right ?
Please could you shortly explain what "metadata" means. Thanks for your assistance...

Re: Repository and Storage
There is no backup in replication job by definition. It`s recommended to make backups along with replicas for full protection.nestorius wrote:But I think you want to tell me repository is not exact backup, it is only essential backup files, am I right ?
Replica metadata helps to detect blocks that have changed since the previous job run in cases when VMware CBT is not available.
